Isabel Villanueva – viola
Hailed by The Strad as “an artist who risks” and described by Pizzicato Magazine as “a sensitive artist who knows how to immerse in the depths of music”, her passion for promoting the viola combined with her charismatic and expressive performances, and her beauty of sound, make Isabel Villanueva one of the most valued and complete violists of today.
Since her debut at 18 performing Bartók Viola Concerto with the Radio Television Spanish Symphony Orchestra, she has developed an global career. She is regularly invited as a soloist with orchestras performing a wide range of repertoire including more than 30 viola concertos from baroque to contemporary music. Solo performances include important venues and festivals such as the Berlin Konzerthaus, the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Royal Court Theatre in Copenhagen, Auditorio Nacional de Madrid, and Wigmore Hall in London. She has been involved in collaborating and premiering more than 20 new works for viola, many of which are dedicated to her.
2023 saw the release of her second album, Ritual for viola solo. Comprising music over 1000 years from Hildegard von Bingen to György Kurtág, it has quickly got attention from media and was nominated to the prestigious ICMA Awards 2024 as “Best Instrumental Solo”. She presents this material in a concert that reveals the intersections of silence, sound and transcendence, and offers a unique opportunity to experience music as a sacred and transformative rite.
Our offer
The series A Genius Is Born is a tribute to the male choir works by the three greatest Hungarian masters of music, so it is no coincidence that the concerts are taking place on the composers' birthdays. A special feature of the concert programme is that StEFREM's personal selection of works by the classical composers is complemented by outstanding and interesting pieces by their "heirs", the Hungarian composers of the 20th and 21st centuries.
A „ballad” played by jazz musicians and singers is supposed to be slow and is typically about romantic feelings. What the leader of MAO, Kornél Fekete-Kovács adds regarding their choice of ballads for this program is that so much could be grouped here, anything that is rather introvert and fits the mood of the season. The repertoire of the big band contains a lot of traditional, and quite many unusual ballads.
Nasip Kısmet is the brainchild of Arif Erdem Ocak, the Turkish-born musician who resides in Budapest, Hungary since 2010, best-known as a founding member and co-songwriter of the famed Ankara band Seksendört who topped charts mid to-late 2000s with consecutive hits.
